Friends, may our speech and our sharing with others,…never be based; on mere enticing words, of mankind’s own wisdom!...

But-rather, may we always demonstrate the indwelling,…Spirit-Force and Power; so that, everyone who is willing to listen to us,…will also know, that; our Faith does not stand, inside the wisdom-of-men,…but; in this Power-Source, which is always,…”Poured-Out”,…unto us, (Jesus’-Faithful-Followers): from Almighty-God!...(Jehovah, His Precious-Name)…

Remember, always,…that, you begin to gravely, (“err”),…if you believe me; to be part, of any denominational group out there. And no,…I’m not; a Jehovah’s-Witness!... I just happen to enjoy, using our Creator’s own proper Name,…every opportunity, I get; within my written passages!... Amen.

Yes, this Holy-Spirit, (not ever, a third-person within a false-Trinity-Doctrine,…of Devils); is truly a recognized, (“Power-Source”),…which is always: poured-out unto whom, God deems worthy. Yes, as He,…sees fit; and to whom, He,…so-ever-wills!...

With this indwelling Spirit, we are well-able to guide and comfort,…not only ourselves; but-also, all those willing to believe. Yes, we are those,…who, do; exceedingly, great-things!...

And, I might add,…abundantly-above; all that is ever asked, of us,…to do!...(read, Ephesians 3:20).

Let the pure truth, of our living-God,…be proclaimed; to all the peoples. Let no one, be deceived any longer. Folks, all this work of world-evangelism,…and of spiritually saving the world; will require simultaneously, a re-educating,…(if-you-will): of our entire planet!...

These minds, I speak of,…(and indeed, our world’s finest and best minds; are involved in this dilemma); whose false education, have made them all,…so perverted; they today, are unable to truly accept,…any real-truths,…until, they first: become willing to unlearn, their embraced,…errors!...

This, in itself is typically,…ten, (10), times; more difficult, as many,…”Doctrines-of-Devils”; have already been deeply embedded, and seated in our hearts-and-minds!... Who of us, is truly willing to start,…all over again; from scratch?...

And, learn new-truths?... Oh’, how I pray,…so!...

We have held, the very foundations of knowledge,…in prejudiced-contempt. Yes, indeed. The re-educating of this world, will be one of the most important tasks,…the Kingdom-of-God, will face; as the Son, returns to Rule!...

Today, many follow deceptive values. These types of materialistic, thought-patterns,…will require; a re-orientation. Yes, a complete change-of-direction. This new teaching, shall go-forth-from our,…New-Jerusalem; the capital of our New-Earth, promised!...

You, dear-reader and friends,…must come, to know this. In the first, few years of the New-Testament-Church,…Jesus’ original and true-gospel-message, (with regards to, His Father’s-Kingdom); was completely suppressed-and-supplanted, with a false-gospel!...

Friends, the principal-purpose for which,…Jesus is returning; is to spiritually develop, in humanity as a whole,…a godly-character; and to save-us-all, even from our own,…self-destructive-nature.

The world today, as it stands,…has, (not-yet); been,…”Saved!”…

Just take a good-look around you. Then, tell me if we aren’t standing,…in utter-chaos?... Yes, with all of our perfect,…imperfections!...

In closing, know this. His Father-in-Heaven, can’t use any of these present,…worldly-churches. Why?... Simply, because all-of-them resemble the old,…Babylon; of yesterday. It’s so obvious, that each disagreeing-religious-organization,…out-there; has only managed, to further divide themselves, (and us, who simply desire, truth); into many different concepts, of Theological,…”Doctrines-of-Devils!”…

With the majority of them, calling Jesus,…God, Himself!...

Such, are Satan’s own,…subtle-snares and wiles; his servants are cunning-serpents, who act as gentle-doves,…deceiving the masses; appointing their own committees, of intellectual-scholars,…to decide, ultimately: whether our Jesus, teaches real-truth!...(or not). Amen.

To rightly-divide, the Word-of-God,…is much easier said; than-done!...

Always, ask yourself,…who; is saying what, and about,…whom?...

I pray, that,…”You truly come, to discern well,…the differences evident; within the written pages, of our Bible. When it comes, to distinguishing literal-language,…from figurative speech; pray, pray, pray!”… Amen.

Have your truest focus, be that of understanding,…Jesus’ own wording; when, He is being,…quoted. And, don’t be led-astray,…by the many, other writers-present; and of their own, inspired sayings,…about, who they happen to think: Jesus, is!...

Folks, what Jesus,…says; is all that, really-counts in the,…end!... Amen.

Friends, at the beginning of this wonderful,…1,000 year reign, (known as the Millennial-Era); we shall witness, many of us,…being trained; in spiritual-knowledge and godly character!...

Yes, we all need,…further-fine-tuning; as we shall be, well-honed and polished,…by our Prince-of-Peace: with regards to His Father’s-Kingdom, then at hand!...

Humanity’s final judgment, will come after the end,…of this Millennial-Rule; of Jesus!... Hence-forth, we stand today,…neither, “Saved”; nor much less, are we yet,…”Born-Again!”…

Whoever calls upon the Name-of-Jesus,…(Shall-Be-Saved)!... Future-tense, spoken of here,…folks!... We’re not quite there, yet. Pinch yourself, and if you are still in the flesh,…know that; these promises refer to our, not-too-distant,…future!...

Why?... Because, simply,…flesh-and-blood; cannot ever inherit, the Kingdom-of-God!...(this is most, Biblical). What is born of the flesh, is flesh. And, what is born of the Spirit,…is, indeed; Spirit!... Upon our future, “Resurrection”,…we shall be converted into; spiritual-beings!...

We shall be, as Jesus stands today,…in the Spirit!...

Let’s remember that, Jesus shall return to us,…with, “Rod-of-Iron”,…in hand; so it will be, a time of much,…correction. Yes, a time will soon come,…when Jesus, (our second-Adam); will finally replace, Satan. As the Son-of-God, will occupy Earth’s-Throne!...

Jesus-of-Nazareth, will return-to-reign,…over all-nations; over our New-Earth, promised. But, folks,…judgment, has not yet; come to our world, as I write these words. Just as a common-criminal, may have committed a great-crime,…not until, he-or-she; is caught and brought to trial, before a judge,…he-or-she, has not yet: been Judged!...

Funny, how we indeed,…do mirror-our-Maker; in many ways!...

In our final judgment, every human who has ever lived,…shall be brought-back; to life!...(read, Revelation 20:11-12). We shall all, give an account for our sins,…committed. Those who are still, in the flesh,…at Jesus’ own return; shall be changed, instantly into,…Spirit-Beings!...

Many, have defiled themselves,…becoming lethargic and slothful; in God’s own sight. For, all their evil-works,…and ill-gotten-gains; they shall ultimately, pay. Their wickedness, has completely corrupted their once,…purposeful-principles!...

Repentance, is not in the cards,…for these; who simply, don’t care. Forgiveness, is not given unto them,…due to the fact-that; they never implore God, for it. For, there is no greater blindness,…than-that of, he-or-she,…who willingly refuses; not to see, the light of Jesus’-true-gospel,…message!...

With sensuous-minds, these very same,…entertain many, puffed-up visions; without viable reasons!...

Not founded in truth, for centuries past,…they feed their flocks; fabricated-fables of old. Preaching pompous-principles, from behind,…putrid-pulpits. These-are-those, ravenous wolves dressed in,…sheep’s-clothing!...

Friends, we have all,…been-forewarned. Have you read it?... Oh’, how I pray,…so!... Amen.

Our Creator, (Jehovah, His Excellent-Name); has left nothing, that is not put under and into,…”Subjection”; to both His Son, (Jesus-of-Nazareth), and to us also, (Jesus’-Faithful-Followers)!...(read, Hebrews 2:8).

Folks, all-things,…means; nothing shall be excluded!...

In verse, (5); it speaks about a world-to-come, (yet-future). Only, if we are willing-to-believe,…can we then; begin to see clearly, that it is Almighty-God,…who, ultimately does; all the crowing, of whom He,…so-ever-wills!...

Why, then,…would we want, to believe that; Jesus is God?...

Were this, to be true, (and it is not); then, there would be no need to exalt,…Jesus!... I pray, you see the falsehood and the perverted-principles,…of all these; “Religionists!”…

Our living-God, already holds the position of,…”Most-High-God!”… Already, He claims that there is no other,…like Him. It’s absurd and completely ludicrous, to believe that God,…needs such, conceitedness; to be praising Himself, through the use of second,…and: third-party-persons!...

Friends, all the contrary is most true. The Son’s incessant posture, is one of total servitude and fulfillment towards,…His Father’s will. Were Jesus to have been God, Himself,…the principle of Holiness; would obligate Jesus, to tell us,…so!...

Remember, that there was never found to be,…any guile, (or lies); uttered from Jesus’-own-mouth!...

Both, Father-and-Son,…are not in the business; of deception!... That’s the Devil’s doing, as he is well known to have established,…his own; false-churches. Other than Jesus-of-Nazareth, no other man and/or woman has yet,…been crowned with; Glory-and-Honor!...

We, shall be,…eventually; “Saved!”… And, we shall also,…ultimately be; “Born-Again!”… Yes, we shall all become,…”Joint-Heirs”; with the very, Son-of-God!... But, folks,…all-of-it; is future-tense. Yes, we are promised an inheritance.

That, which is born-of-flesh,…is flesh. And, that which is born-of-spirit,…is Spirit!... Only, after our promised Resurrection,…will we, then occupy; incorruptible spirit-bodies. We shall see Jesus, as He is. In the Spirit!... (and not, before)…

Final-Judgment, occurs after the 1,000 year reign of Christ-Jesus!... Only then, shall we witness fully,…who is to be, Saved; and/or who is to be, condemned. And, the being,…”Born-Again”; occurs upon the act, of us being,…Resurrected: by God’s own, Power!...(and not, before)…

Yes, all those who call upon the Name-of-Jesus,…(“SHALL-BE”),…Saved!... Future tense, spoken of,…here; dear-reader and friends. We are not, quite there,…yet.

Repentance, is more than mere,…remorse. It walks, hand-in-hand with real inward change, (not just, outward appearances). It involves, a turning from old-ways, lifestyles and demeanors. Yes, our overall character,…must change!...

You can indeed, come as you are. But, you must also expect,…to be changed!... Amen. This disposition, must exist,…within your own; spirit. No one else, can force you,…to make; these changes!...

Folks, forgiveness,…is not, a given-license; to continue in your, corrupted-causes. Woe-to-you, who continue to sin,…greatly; despite knowing God’s own will, to be contrary to your present,…actions!...(read, Luke 12:47-48).

Have you, been entrusted with much?... Then, know that our Heavenly-Father demands,…all-the-more; from you!...

To you, who desire to be chief among your brethren,…know that; you must first-and-foremost, learn to become,…servant-of-all. Beware of the, “Leaven”,…of the religious order; (the Pharisees of today). For, theirs,…is but, a cover-up; hiding much, hypocrisy!...(read, Luke 12:1).

Fear most, Jesus’ own God and Father-in-Heaven!... Only He, can cast you into hell, (yes, a real place of torment; night-and-day); even after you, have died. For, there are really,…two-deaths; one is of our, fleshly-estate. And, the other,…involves a death; even of our own, Spirit!...(yes, a permanent separation from the presence of God).

Only, God,…holds all, Authority; over you and over all-things!...

And, to His Son,…God, has bestowed; the very Keys, to our New-Heavens and our New-Earth,…promised. And, for those of you,…who, insist that; we aren’t to judge, anything-nor-anyone. Please read, (Luke 12:57).

“Why, do you not Judge for yourselves,…what is right?”…

In closing, I pray that,…”We all do so. That is, to judge for ourselves,…what is right. Always using, our God-given-insights and our instilled reasoning,…to ultimately; (DISCERN-WELL,…ALL-THINGS)!”… Amen.

For the most part, our world as a whole,…lives with closed minds; to the causes behind, this planet’s events and trends!...

The majority, who surround us, (Jesus’-Faithful-Followers); seem to ignore and refuse to deal with, the consequences thereof. The most necessary knowledge, is not being taught. Many are those, who know nothing of their purpose,…nor of the true-meaning; in this present, dispensation-of-time!...

These very same, are not taught to distinguish true-values,…from, false-ones. Inequality and world chaos, is the result. Humanity, without Father-and-Son interacting in our personal-lives,…continues on a course; of conflict!...

Wreaking havoc, upon a distressed and suffering world. Lacking knowledge of God’s own inner-peace, we (in general), do not possess,…any peace. Our leaders, talk a good-game about,…peace. They profess to work, for peace!...

These very same, cry-out for peace. All-the-while, they issue blind approvals,…to ways, that; only produce Wars!... Dark-Forces, are at work,…today; on plans and movements, that soon will erupt into world-wide,…violence!...

We’ve been forewarned. Have you, read it?... Oh’, how I pray,…so!...

Mankind, is tampering with forces-of-nature,…of which, they; lack the prudence, the knowledge, the ability,…and the wisdom: to really control. Folks, there is indeed,…an invisible, but Supreme-Power; (Jehovah, His Precious-Name), who soon shall intervene,…and change our course: in history!...(and no, I’m not a Jehovah’s-Witness; I follow no denomination.)

Yes, before all of humanity ends-up blasting itself,…out-of-existence!...

Yes, He is God!... And, there is none,…other; like Him!... His counsel, shall forever stand!...(read, Isaiah 46:9-10). He alone, who plans from age-to-age,…and who, stands forever; looks down upon us, from Heaven,…itself. He alone, notes all that we are,…doing!...(read, Psalm 33:10-15).

He foretold, all that today is,…transpiring. Unprecedented cataclysm, will strike, (sooner-than-later); yet, the very best minds,…in this globe; are in total, ignorance. Vital Keys, of spiritual-understanding,…has been lost; since centuries-of-old.

Only,…(“UNPREJUDICED,…EYES”): are truly willing, to see!...

Yes, this Eternal-Creator,…of all-things; reveals some of His secrets, (not-all of them); unto His Son’s-Faithful-Followers!... No longer, shall we continue to stumble-on,…in the utter-darkness; of our once, dirty-deeds, and futile reasoning!...

No, sir!... No-more, shall we continue to feed our vain-glories,…and these, vanity-of-intellect; which has caused, much rejection of these otherwise,…Divine-Revelations!...

Friends, many doors are being opened, (through the Holy-Spirit-Power-Source; something which God, “pours-out”, unto us; guiding-and-comforting those, who are in earnest: striving-daily); to further-fine-tune all these, spiritual-understandings!...

It’s all, just the tip of the iceberg. There’s much, much-more,…to come!... Amen.

Do you (dear-reader and friends), not think,…if a storm arises, in your personal life; a sorrow, or a disappointment,…that Almighty-God: sees it and takes notice, of your obedience to His Word?... It’s our obedience of Faith, that holds His attention,…and; enlists His care. He could stop the storm, but why does He (Not),…do it?...

He means to test, the “rest”,…into which, you have entered; and prove to you, His Power and Faithfulness,…in the midst: of your tempest. Let’s look at our apostle Peter, for example. A flame-of-faith, leaped up in his heart,…and he cried; “bid me to come to thee, upon the water!”… Peter believed that, he was safe with Jesus,…the Son-of-God; anywhere!...

God’s rest is most practical, when seen thru the eyes of His Son,…our Saviour!... For, our Creator works,…in no other way; when it relates to us, humans. And, so,…it is; that with Christ-Jesus, we can truly rest in the midst,…of any turbulence. Of course, Peter did not sink,…as he stepped-out; upon the waves!...

He made just one little mistake, he got his eyes off his Lord,…and placed his sights; upon the surging-waters, instead. Immediately, Peter began to go down. It was not, a complete defeat,…for at once; Peter cried again, “Lord, Save me; lest I perish!”… Instantly, our Jesus lifted Peter into the vessel,…saying; “Wherefore, didst thou doubt?”…

Then, Jesus came into the boat,…and Peter; with Him!... Then, all of their trials and struggles,…were over. I only imagine, that quite a praise meeting followed,…then; a stretching out of weary muscles, and an enjoyment of some real,…peaceful sleep!...

Yes, when our Master of the seas,…steps on board, of our troubled-bark; there is a great-calm. Then also, we reach our desired haven,…the place; to which He told us, to go. What had those fishermen, done?... They believed the guiding Word-of-Jesus!... What else, can we do?... They believed for Victory, in the darkest moment,…and the Victory; came thru Christ’s appearance, on the scene!...

Let us not be uneasy, because of our present conditions. Jesus, is Greater than all conditions,…combined. If only, you would believe!... Only then, will you enter into,…this wonderful Triumph; one that can’t be shaken. Folks, things may seem to be going over-board,…but; our cry, “Lord, help!”,…will surely bring: Deliverance!... When we row, until our arms are like dish-rags,…only then; will our Deliverer appear, on the scene!...

So, behold the reasons,…for your troubled-seas; which surround you. Open your spiritual-eyes, and begin to see the real reasons,…for your sorrows and loss; and disappointments. All these things, are working for you,…while at the same time; we are learning to rest,…in Christ!... Our Heavenly-Father, (through His Son, Jesus),…makes even our failures; work for our better-good, in the end!... I pray that, “You believe this, to be most true!”… Amen.

He remembers our frame, that we are simply,…dust; and as a father, pities his children,…so, does; the Son-of-God, pities all those who Love,…His Father-in-Heaven!... Believe me on this one, after a while,…He will; keep you from, failing Him and yourselves. So, stay in His perfect-peace,…you; whose minds are stayed, on Him,…who: because you trust in the Son, will Deliver you in the end!... Amen.

Today, I wish to speak of a very important feature,…in our Christian-life. Suppose an officer was sending a definite messenger, on an errand for his country. Of course he would not send one, who had drooping hands and trembling knees. When the very strength of manhood, is required,…we; need to select one who, has the real look of rest,…in his face: and who is most capable of performing the task!...

Likewise, a Christian man and/or woman (for that matter),…needs to rest. We need to learn the secret of entering, into God’s very own rest. This can never be done, by self-effort. It can come only by putting our trust, in the provisions which our Creator (Jehovah and/or Yahweh, His Precious and Glorious-Name),…has made for us; The Faithful-Believers!...

We turn aside from what, mankind has done and believe what our maker,…has done for us. This rest, takes away the burden of self-effort,…the feeling that; I have to do it, all. Who of us, can really enter into this rest,…today?...

Now, some of you may have indeed,…found this rest; and may be also, enjoying it. But, I have a conviction today,…that leads me to say; that there are others, here present within this wonderful medium,…who: have (Not) entered therein. I want to help those, the most. And, the Son-of-God,…Jesus-of-Nazareth; wants us, who are presently walking in His strengths,…to pray; so that these I speak of today, may see the full proof of the provision,…of God’s-Grace: and thereafter, enter into it completely,…and freely!...

Only then, can we all be,…in a far better; spiritual-condition and render better service, to Almighty-God!... Ours, is a permanent smile,…upon our faces; yes, we know well of this rest,…which: never wears-off. Lack of Faith, causes millions to continue wandering within,…their wilderness; never really possessing this perfect-peace, never really satisfied inwardly,…never certain: of anything around them!...

Everything needed, for the human-race,…has been provided; from our very beginnings. And, thru the Redemption that is offered,…in Christ-Jesus; every spiritual-need has also been, provided for. A perfect Redemption, offers to us a perfect,…Salvation!... This makes me, take a long breath. I feel it, to the depths of my soul. The Captain of our Salvation, is on board and has,…complete control.

His Father-in-Heaven, has sworn that those who did (Not) believe,…in His Son (Jesus); would never enter, into this rest,…simply because: without Faith, it’s impossible to please our Heavenly-Father!... And, where there is no Faith,…there can be; no rest. The true children of God, (defined as those, who believe in His Son, Jesus); experience much sorrow and suffering, how much more so,…all those: who are the unbelievers?...

Yes, folks,…on account of their unbelief; many saints even today,…remain lost!... Amen.

Folks, please read (John 1:3,10,11)… Yes, Jesus is known as having made all things,…but; the things referred to here, are all the “known-things”,…to: mankind itself. Folks, there are many other things,…unknown to us; like the fact that, even Jesus has His own God and Father-in-Heaven!... Yes, friends,…Jesus; in complete “Subjection”, as we are also,…to: the Supreme-Being!...

Jesus, admits that He has been given the very keys to Heaven and Earth!... Yes, given. By whom, though?... Can’t we see, that Jesus did (Not) possess these things,…prior to; His exaltation to the right-hand of Almighty-God!...(Jehovah and/or Yahweh, His Precious and Holy-Name). The world may have indeed been made by Jesus, appointed to do so,…as our Creator’s own; Master-Builder!...

Was Jesus, not the son of Joseph,…a Master-Carpenter; even within this earthly-realm?... Let’s remember that, we were made in God’s own image,…this means; that many things, here on Earth,…simply: mirror the spiritual-realm. Jesus-of-Nazareth, is the greatest marvel ever,…beheld; by human-eyes!...

The story of the Son-of-God, His life and work of this special individual,…stirs our hearts; more deeply than anything else, that might be said,…read: or even heard. In the above verses, we see Jesus as a Creator (but of our world, specifically and uniquely so); commissioned by His God and Father, for this particular task!...

I believe Jesus to be, second only to,…His very own Father-in-Heaven; yes, first-born of all the Father’s-Creation!... Made a little higher,…than the Angels. This is why, ultimately Lucifer is under Jesus’,…Authority; and must obey, and respond to all reprimands made by the very Son-of-God!... Jesus, was (and still is), the very Light,…of this present world!...

He was the, (“Water-of-life”), but said,…”I thirst!”… He was the, (“Bread-of-Life”),…but said,…”I’m hungry!”… Jesus-of-Nazareth, fellowshipped with the poor,…and needy. In all of His Grandeur and Resplendent-Glory, He had (and still has),…a deep; intense and earnest longing, for the fellowship of us,…His Father’s lowly people!...

View for a moment, the inconsistency of His own people,…and things. He was in the world, and the world was made even by His Hands,…(commissioned by His Heavenly-Father, to do so); yet, the world knew Him not. His own property, did not recognize Him,…nor; pay honor to its Master!... Notice that, Jesus came (or was sent, by His Father-in-Heaven); to His own people, and they received Him,…(Not)!...(see, John 1:11).

Everything about Jesus,…makes me marvel. His treatment from the world, fills my heart,…with painful sympathy. I love to sit and contemplate Jesus, viewing Him in my mind,…as He; walked around amidst all the elements of nature, with sickness, sin and death,…on every hand; the unseen wicked thoughts of men and women alike, exposed to His all-seeing eyes!...

And, with the rulers of the darkness on every hand,…but, Jesus Himself; always going about His Father’s business, in a quiet,…tranquil manner, undisturbed by foes: or conditions. He was never moved, by the threats of His enemies,…nor by; the spirit-of-rejection, that prevailed among the elders and religious leaders,…of His people!...

To see Jesus, in this fashion,…moves me; to love Him, deeper. It moves my spirit, to worship,…my heart to devotion; my mind to thinking of Him, in a fuller way,…and my body: to service. As He stood for us, amid a rejecting people,…who possessed only, faithless-love and alien-pity; may we today stand, and boldly confess our witnessing,…for Jesus-of-Nazareth: despite the suffering and/or pain it might bring, to us!... Amen.

Why is it, that our wrong-doing mutates,…altering its form and quality; evolving into dark narcissism and horrifying cruelty?... We don’t care who gets hurt, as long as we get,…what we want. When our seams have been opened, and our evil deeds have been exposed,…Almighty-God reminds us; of the cross, His forgiveness through the shed blood of His Son,…and: His incomparable grace. Then, He begins to make us,…new!...

But, there’s only one way to know,…that type of forgiveness; acknowledgment of the awfulness of one’s sin, and that old-fashioned word,…Repentance!... We must hate what we’ve done, and turn from it,…in disgust. This is what, our apostle Paul called,…”godly-sorrow”; that brings repentance, that leads to Salvation,…and: leaves no regret…(please see, 2nd Corinthians 7:10). Ungodly sorrow, is the sorrow of being found out,…or; of suffering the consequences of being, found out!...

The result is, intensified guilt,…anxiety; and hopelessness. Godly sorrow, on the other hand,…is; sorrow over sin itself, and the harm that it has done,…to others. Godly sorrow, asserts itself to set things right. Almighty-God, discerns the possibilities,…even in our defilement; forgives our sins, counteracts our mistakes, and gives us,…opportunities: to be better, than we’ve ever been,…before. Therefore, rather than mourn our humiliation,…we; must move one. God, through His Son Jesus,…takes the worst that we can do; and makes it part of the good, He has promised!...

Folks, He’s the God (Jehovah),…of fools and failures. And the God, of another chance!... Amen.

God’s judgment doesn’t fall, precipitously. It never does. His anger must be released, by a stiff safety-lock,…but; His mercy, has a hair trigger. He loves us too much, to let us go. He pursues us, even into our sins,…and guilt; and pleads with us, to turn back. Our living God, has feet-of-wool,…and; hands-of-steel. We may not hear Him coming, but when He gets His hands on us,…we; cannot wiggle-away. The flip side of the promise, “I will never leave you, nor forsake you”…(Joshua 1:5); is the pledge that, He will never leave us,…alone!...

He will hound us, badger us, bother us,…pester us; and heckle us, until we give in. God has many ways, to deliver us from sin; sometimes by a drawing we feel in our inner-souls, sometimes by a word dropped by a close friend,…sometimes; by an incident related, or sometimes by a book, a sermon,…even: a chance meeting with an unknown stranger. In these ways, God appeals to us,…to; come back to Him. More than anything, our Heavenly-Father wants us,…to; give in to His Love. Yes, love surrounds us,…seeking the smallest crack; by which it may enter in.

Our living God, waits tirelessly and loves,…relentlessly. But, if we will not have Him,…He; will let us have our way, and let us reap the consequences,…of our resistance. But, even this,…is; for our own good. It is the Redemptive Judgment of Almighty-God!... He knows that, when the cold wind blows,…it just may; turn our heads around, toward His Face!... Amen.

Over the years, I have learned that,…Almighty-God; has many ways, to make us into the people,…He; wants us to be. But, it seems that His preferred method,…is; through resistance. The greater, the resistance,…the greater the growth. What we see as obstacles to achievement, our living God sees,…as; opportunities for growth. Disappointments, loss, criticism, failure, humiliation,…temptation; depression, loneliness and moral failure, become the means,…by which we grow strong: if we are “trained” by these forces, as the author of the book of Hebrews would say (please see, 12:11)…

Our creator, wastes nothing in our lives,…not even sin; we all have our own alternate routes, and wrong-way runs. And we have the memories, that accompany them,…recollections; that rise-up to taunt us, and haunt us at three o’clock in the morning. There’s so much of our past, we wish we could undo or redo,…so much we; wish we could forget. If only we could begin again. I wish that, there were some wonderful place,…called; “The-Land,…of,…Begin-Agains”, where all our mistakes and all our heart-aches,…and; all of our poor selfish griefs, could be dropped like a shabby old coat,…at the door: and never be put on, again!...

There is such a place. It is found in the grace of our Maker!... A grace that, not only completely forgives our past,…and puts it away; but also uses it, to make us better than ever,…before. Even from our sin, our Heavenly-Father can draw some good. Normally, we see only one side of God,…His; long-suffering patience. He longs to be gracious, (please read, Isaiah 30:18). But, there’s another side, His “Strange-Work”, of Judgment!... Amen.

There are many hidden things, unknown to you. Call,...and He will answer them. Your prayers, invites and assures, His response. He restores in ways, nothing short of incredible!...

We have profaned His Name, and have gone, where we wished. I,...along with others, have violated thus, and so walked this path; as pagans, still practice. He has withdrawn from these, but with your help, together we will bring them back!...

Readers,...please show no fear. Know the Word of God, and obey. Ask Him privately, for direction. Words of officials, are not good; they serve only to weaken our hands and our report!....

Many, do nothing. Not because of inability or lack of authority, but through failure of nerve; they fear their own officials. I bring my petition, before You,...O' Lord!....

"Knowing well, that my sins, are a less objectionable prison, than the Dungeon, You have prepared for evildoers,...I surrender my will, to You,...ungrudgently!"....

How many, have misled you, and overcame you; those so-called,...trusted friends, of yours? Your feet have sunk in mud, and your steps now, are those of a sluggard. Go and,...("TELL THOSE,...YOU,...FEAR"),...that my Lord, is about to fulfill His Words!....

To forgive those, whom you have also defeated,…is truly a Triumphant-Victory!... To forgive, supposes always,…a bit of forgetting. With consent, we (The Faithful-Believers); have learned to forgive, knowing well that,…there is no sin: no matter how grandiose, that doesn’t display its own,…limit.

Poverty, seems most attracted to those minds,…who; favor it. The same is true, of those minds,…who; handle money, with a deliberate preparedness,…all within: the margins of the law. Yes, folks,….poverty; make some people, most humble,…while yet, others: become very corrupt, and filled with ill-gotten-gains!...

As for the rich, who do not know,…how to spend well, their money; these very same, suffer from an incurable,…poverty. They are, (“Poor-in-Spirit”). If you, (dear-reader and friends), have ever truly,…been poor; then you shall continue, being most humble in all that is,…intimate: to you. Yes, humble we shall remain, (The Followers of Jesus); in the depths of our hearts, and the inner-most portions,…of our souls!...

This is most true of us, both in this present-life,…as it shall be; in the here-after. To our shame, is the inability to eradicate,…poverty; by working ourselves out-of-it. Misery, often forces a man and/or woman,…into relationships; with strange and unknown company. Let us all, remember always that,…the Son-of-God, Christ-Jesus; calls us all, to help those,…most: who are the, “Poor-in-Spirit”… And, (Not) those who merely, are the poor-in-pocket!...

The result, of women’s honesty,…is best summarized, often times; as being nothing short of, the Love for a good-reputation,…resulting at the end; in an enlarged inner-tranquility. May we never forget, that they are mankind’s,…better-half; yes, woman,…a free and precious-gift: from Almighty-God!...

I pray that, you men learn most,…the purity, of a woman’s-purpose; that of being, well determined to demonstrate,…the Love-of-God: which indwells in the spirit, of these tender creatures,…of our Creator!... Yes, men,…Love your women; well. Or, someone else,…may Love them; for you. Tend to your Paradise-Garden, or you may find,…someone else; watering your precious-rose!...

Most fortunate, is he or she who possesses,…memories; that only further strengthens, their inner-spirit. Let us carry our memories, into this intimate place of solitude, (not to be mistaken, as isolation); let us once there, profoundly petition and plead,…to Heaven, itself: for more severe Justice!...

And, in closing,…just remember that; to own a memory, involves an inner-tranquility,…for recollecting past events; and/or the necessary valor, to exercise the forgetting,…of them!... Amen.

Decisions made when we’re down in the dumps, or emotionally distraught,…are; exceedingly perilous. We’re most vulnerable to bad choices, when we’re in that state of mind,…choices; we would never make, if we were on top of things. When we’re down, we inevitably stumble,…into bad judgment. I wonder how many single people, have decided in a moment of weariness,…that; they can’t handle the thought of perpetual loneliness,…so: they settle for a mate, who makes life even more miserable,…for them?...

I wonder, how many men and women,…alike; have walked away from good jobs, in a fit of momentary frustration and rage,…and now; find themselves hopelessly out of work, or working in situations far less,…desirable?... I wonder how many, have given up on their marriages,…when; they are at a low point in their lives, and have lived to regret,…that decision?... There are two conditions, in the Christian life. One, is consolation,…when; our soul is aroused to a love, for its Creator!...

When Faith, hope and charity,…and interior Joy; inspire the soul, to peace and quiet in our Lord,…Christ-Jesus!... The other condition,…is desolation. This is when there is darkness, of soul,…turmoil of mind; a strong inclination to earthly things, restlessness resulting from disturbances,…and temptations: leading to a loss of Faith. Who of you, (dear reader and friends); finds themselves apathetic,…sad; and separated from our Saviour?...

Just as the good Spirit, guides and consoles us,…with consolation; so it is, in desolation,…that: the evil Spirit, (Satan himself) guides and counsels. Following the counsels of this latter Spirit, one can never find the correct way,…to; a right decision. I urge you today, dear friends and yes,…even you, my readers; to intensify your activity in more prayer, meditation, self-examination,…and confession. Eventually, we will all learn,…to; wait for Almighty-God!...

Make-up your mind, to rest in the shadows,…of; God’s invisible wings. Unless we allow ourselves, to be refined by His Fire,…we shall be; as exasperated Spirits, proceeding from wrong,…to more wrong. If by your mistakes and sins, you have reduced yourself,…into a false position; do not despair, hope still in Almighty-God and the accomplished deeds,…of His Son!... Confess and put away your sin, and humble yourself before your Maker,…and He will; arise to deliver you. Yes, you may have destroyed yourself,…but; in Christ-Jesus, will be your,…help!...

When we have hope, we can endure. When we are robbed of this hope,…life itself; then loses all its meaning. So, please,…in your present crisis; you can flee, to the shelter of,…His wings. God never refuses His help, even when we have brought ruin,…upon ourselves; regardless of what we have done, we must run to Him,…and: take His Strong Hand!...

The man and/or woman, who can come to God,…with the weight of their failures, on their mind; and say to Him, “You are my refuge”, is a person who understands the gracious heart,…of: our living God!... Amen.
